Do you really need another Covid-19 message?
Honestly, there’s not much we can say about the Covid-19 crisis that hasn’t already been said. But, here are a few things we want you to know:
-
- We hope you’re safe and well. That’s what matters. Oh, and practicing social distancing too!
- It’s a trying time for everyone, and for your nonprofit. We don’t know the future (if only!) but no one does. That means we’re all in this together. And that you don’t have to know the (right) answers to everything right now. But, lead with your people in mind: your staff, constituents, volunteers, Board, even your donors. You might make a wrong turn somewhere, but it will be for the best reasons.
- Foundations want to help. Here are a couple of resources we’ve heard of:
- So do individuals: all around people are opening their wallets, and giving to others, especially other people hit – financially, or otherwise — by the virus. It’s heartwarming to see good in these times.
- Thank you to everyone who is trying to help in whatever way they can. #WeSeeYou.
- We’re here – a phone call, email, or video chat away. If you need help with communicating during this time, dealing with funding opportunities lost or perhaps to be found, or would just like a sounding board on your fundraising strategies, we’re here.
- Take care… and wash your hands!
